As I was spending time with the Lord tonight, He brought a memory to my mind that He wanted to work through in my heart. He showed me how this moment was a fork in the road that I didn’t recognize at the time, and He showed me how He wanted to restore me to the right direction!
When I looked at the situation, it boiled down to a division of interests. A division of priorities. And, ultimately, a divided heart it me.
I heard the Lord say, “Pursue me wholeheartedly. Hunger after the things of Me. Because, I want to….” And, from there He brought Psalm 23 to my mind.
We all know it…It’s the one with the green pastures and the restoring and the sunday school lessons with the felt-storyboards… It’s one of those INCREDIBLE promises from the Lord, that somehow gets watered down in our brains and our hearts from hearing it so often for so long.
So tonight, I re-wrote it. I let the Spirit inspire me with His promise in a fresh way.
I want to share it with you too, because He created you for the same purposes. May this song fill every divided heart with a crazy love for the Lord, that can’t help but to pursue more of Him!
“The Lord takes care of me, and constantly looks after me.
He makes times of rest for me in peaceful and safe places;
He orchestrates times of refreshing.
He heals every part of me.
His grace guides me toward righteousness so that my life may show off His glory!!
Even though I experience the pain of a shattered heart, and the loneliness of a misguided world,
I carry no fear of the devil,
for the Lord is always with me;
Your discipline confirms that I am Your child,
and keeps me in the path of Your commands.
You celebrate me and provide abundantly for me in front of everyone!
You prepare me for every task that you call me to.
I am overwhelmed and filled to overflowing with Your provision and attention.
Goodness (which is You, and only truly known by You)
and love will definitely be with me everyday,
and I will live intimately with my Lord FOR-E-VERRR!!!“
